comfortable conditions out there later on today. 33 degrees to start in san jose. calm winds. winds were playing a factor yesterday. we had winds at 15 miles per hour in places like fairfield. this morning they dropped off and hence that cold, dense air able to settle to the surface. it will be a cold start to the day. we'll see a comfortable finish as we have the jet stream still to our south. cold air moves onshore. look at numbers. yesterday low 50s to upper 40s. today, 57 degrees. not too shabby in san jose. 56 in redwood city. 57 degrees in santa rosa. we'll keep on climbing as we head into the upcoming weekend and we actually have a slight chance for showers i want to tell you about as well. stick around. that's coming up in my next report. seven-day outlook, locked and loaded and ready to go. >> good morning. a chilly morning. so far roadways in the south bay looking good as far as traffic flow goes. look at this light volume for 101 just north of 680. on our map we'll show you the entire south bay region showing a nice smooth commute right now. i circled in the middle of your

screen south 880. there is your overnight road work. those crews have been there for the last week or so overnight. not steady. we do have a flow of traffic for the tri-valley. no slowing right now. easy drive and also continuing down toward castro valley y, hayward and 880. crockett looking at the carquinez. north or east on 80 across into the north bay for carquinez bridge we hear about a structure fire off the bridge. sounds like 100-year-old structure. no reports of injuries. we did see slowing across the bridge in eastbound 80 direction. i'll track that. it may be visible from there. live look outside will show you a smooth flow of traffic down the east shore freeway coming from carquinez bridge.

is "building." the social network is holding a press event at menlo park at 10:00 a.m. the company has not said what it plans to announce but nbc bay area news report scott budman believes it could be something that will take on google. >> facebook wants a bigger part of the search pie. advertisers can target you more efficient. >> now there have also been rumors facebook is working on its own smartphone but that's unlikely with what is being unveiled today. mark zuckerberg shot down speculation his team was building its own smartphone. here's a question. what will happen to apple stock today? it's been gradually falling for months taking a major hit yesterday after new signs the iphone 5 is not selling as well as expected. "the wall street journal" says apple cut orders for iiphone parts because of slower sales. the stock dipped below $500 a

share. that's the first time it has done that since last february. if you recall, apple was above 700 per share just last september. companies who make parts for the iphone also losing some ground yesterday. there are answers for renewed calls for congress to raise the debt ceiling. for more on that and a look at the world markets and how they did overnight, we turn to seema mody at cnbc world headquarters. >> good morning to you. let's start with markets. futures lower after a mixed session on monday. as you pointed out apple weighing on tech on reports that it is cutting component costs but dell took others higher on talks it's in talk with several firms. we get a trio of federal reserve officials speaking out about the economy today. the dow rising 18 points in yesterday's trade and nasdaq slipping eight to close at 3117. here's our top story.

treasury secretary tim geithner is calling on congress to raise the debt ceiling. in a letter to lawmakers geithner says it could cause harm to the u.s. economy. the government will run out of tools to avoid defaulting on debt sometime in late february or early march. that would mean social security and other government benefit checks would stop going out. fed chairman ben bernanke is joining the cause saying the economy isn't out of the woods just yet from fiscal threats. back to you. >> thank you very much, seema. let's check in with meteorologist christina loren as we kind of adjust the shot. >> everyone come in. lean in. i'm the queen. you'll have to do something to stay warm out there this morning. lean back if that's what it takes. 4:47. it is cold out there this morning. you're going to need all the winter gear you have in your closet. you could wear the snowboarding gear to work this morning if you wanted to. stay warm.

i definitely brought my board and jacket in this morning. it's frigid out there. this is the last morning we expect the mid 20s. tomorrow we'll see more upper 20s and low 30s. this morning it is very cold. even colder than yesterday in some cities. just about the same in gilroy at 27 degrees to start. 33 in san jose. 30 in livermore. and concord this morning. and what's different is we lost that wind from yesterday. that mixes up our atmosphere and keeps the very cold dense air from settling to the surface. as a result it will get more and more cold as we head through the next two hours. it will be frigid by 7:35. keep that in mind. that's the coldest time of the day. you can bring in sensitive plants if you forgot to last night. our air quality suffered a little bit. we're expecting better air quality as we head through the next couple days. high pressure is now setting up. cold air courtesy of the jet stream continues to build in. high pressure will come in meaning the breeze will pick up picking up the air quality.

you don't see the layer of haze when the atmosphere is getting mixed up. more comfortable day setting up in san jose at 57. 56 for san francisco. 58 degrees the warmest city on that map is santa cruz. if you want to hit santa cruz this weekend, it's going to be comfortable. look at your numbers. they'll climb into the mid to upper 60s. we'll increase clouds as we get into monday of next week and a storm system moves onshore tuesday into wednesday. overall looking forward to a warmup. back to you guys. >> we get warmed up to go outside. this could be a game changer for active people with bad knees. a new gel that could put the bounce back in your step. it's a jell-o like substance developed by researchers at stanford. the gel may help mend damaged cartilage. up until now little could be done to repair damaged cartil e cartilage. researchers tested the gel on a small group of patients. it shows promise in becoming the standard for a simple low-cost

procedure. >> the major benefit is you have a repair that's more like the native cartilage which means it will last longer, it will perform better. the patient will be able to tolerate more weight bearing activities out having pain. >> larger studies are needed to determine if hydrogel is safe long-term. if it is, it could be available in just a few years. if you can't shake the cough after you get sick, not to worry. that's normal. a new study shows while most people think a cough should last no longer than a week or so the average cough actually lasts 18 days. the aim of the study was to highlight the gap between public perception and public reality. many ask for antibiotics for cough earlier than needed that contributes to antibiotics working less for everyone in the long run. in most cases an antihistamine and cough drops will do the

trick. coca-cola is launching two tv ads looking at the link between sugary drinks and obesity. the ads are part of a larger campaign to fight obesity promoting coke's growing line of low calorie and no calorie drinks and notes the obesity epidemic is due to many factors. >> remember the ad to keep the harmony. we share a lot of things like that. still ahead, the haunting memory of natalie wood. one thing that made the coroner change the death certificate and what may have happened in the final moments. we'll keep an eye on the morning commute out there starting to pick up. a live look at 880 in fremont. mike will have the latest across the bay area.

three decades after natalie wood's death a coroner's review is raising new questions about the events leading up to her drowning. if you recall wood died back in 1981 while on a yacht trip off catalina island with her husband robert wagner and co-star christopher walken. her death was originally ruled an accidental drowning and

bruises were determined to be from the actress trying to climb into a dingy. there is an updated report and the cause of death was changed from accidental drowning to drowning and other undetermined factors. the current medical examiner says the bruises likely occurred before she fell into the water. the los angeles county sheriff's department is continuing its investigation. >> interesting. 4:55 right now. seems like there's more people out there this morning early, mike. >> some folks may have taken it easy last week and when martin luther king birthday observed next monday a weird flow of traffic. a different flow every day. we'll look at headlights as they pass by the truck scales in fremont southbound with headlights north with taillights and right here for 880 you are just fine. in fact on the maps you see light volume for 880 and 680 north of fremont funnel where mission cuts over. we do have as you pass onramp on northbound side reports of a

crash there. no injuries. chp report in the center divide. don't know if that's gore point for off-ramp or center divide for 880. we don't see slowing or problems but that will have activity so flashing lights for a few. live look outside across the san mateo bridge shows you commute direction with taillights away from us just fine. that flow of traffic will continue to build. we're also watching dumbarton because we have been reporting they continue to change things over at the toll plaza. back to you. >> thank you very much. this is what you call momentum. what started out as a talk show joke could be the fastest growing civic group here in the bay area. >> we found this online clip of the daily show host jon stewart inventing marin county kumbaya patrol. poking fun the marin's progressive political vote. they say that no such group exists but now a san rafael man is changing it.

he started a facebook page for the kumbaya patrol but the page has close to 600 members. >> just saying kumbaya feels relaxing. ahead on "today in the bay," what's in a name? a san francisco leader looking to change the name to sfo. we'll let you know what he has in mind. a bizarre crime scene in the north bay. a body found in the trunk of a car near a college campus. we're live with the latest next.

of a parked car overnight. the connection it could have to recent crime and why sheriff deputies are asking for your help. new this morning, facebook is just hours away from making a big announcement. what will it be? good morning. i'm marla tellez with all of the speculation coming up. another cold start to the day. temperatures in the 20s and 30s. we are going to rebound into the

60s in some cities and we keep on climbing like a ladder when it comes to your daytime highs. your full forecast in just moments. as we kick off your traffic tuesday, i'm watching one of your bay area bridges. a fire nearby and there may be slowing. we'll show you what we can see coming up. a live look over san francisco. christina tells us it will warm up later on today but it's early and it's still cold outside. please bundle up if you are heading out on this tuesday, january 15th. this is "today in the bay." it is now 5:00. good morning, everybody. thank you for getting up early with us. i'm jon kelley. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. we begin with a developing story out of roanoke park where sheriff's deputies found a body in the trunk of a car that was parked in a no parking zone. it is helping along petaluma
